US Forces in the Pacific examines the island‑hopping campaigns of the Second World War’s Pacific theater through the operational lens of marine and boat squadrons, showing how amphibious assaults, PT boat actions and naval‑marine cooperation shaped campaign plans and battlefield decisions. As the seventh volume in a nine‑book series on wars and war strategies, the book places unit‑level operations—from 1st Marine Division landings to motor torpedo boat strikes—into their wider strategic context, combining tactical analysis with a pictorial reconstruction of attack plans and campaign sequences.
This illustrated volume features period photographs, maps and diagrams that clarify unit dispositions, vessels and landing plans, functioning as both a concise military‑unit history and a pictorial reference for the Pacific War; authors listed are Ian Westwell, Michael Sharpe (Senior Lecturer in Psychological Medicine), Angus Konstam and Brian L. Davis. ISBN13: 9780785823308—cataloging tags emphasize World War II Pacific theater, U.S. Marines, PT boat squadrons, amphibious operations and Chartwell Books’ WWII pictorial history, making it especially appealing to history enthusiasts and collectors.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
